The novel Italian approach for the Target Capacity Assessment: main results and relevant sensitivity analyses

Transmission expansion planning efficient and environmentally sustainable remains a critical challenge for Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and energy policymakers [1] [2]. In fact, long-term uncertainties in energy scenarios demand novel approaches to design cost-effective transmission infrastructure and achieve interconnection objectives, such as the 15% electricity interconnection target by 2030 to support EU climate and energy commitments.
